this story seems eerily similar to one that happened 3 years ago with the Dolphins

Bill Parcells said Wednesday that he likely will accept the Atlanta Falcons' offer to become the team's vice president of football operations.

"I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it. [Owner] Arthur [Blank] and I have had some pretty constructive discussions. I basically will oversee the football operations. We'll meet today -- not in Atlanta -- and work out some of the final details but I don't think there's any deal breakers here," Parcells said.

Bill Parcells will not be joining the Atlanta Falcons as head of football operations, but he didn't have to wait long for another offer.

Parcells told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Wednesday night that a deal to become the Miami Dolphins' vice president of football operations is still being finalized, but he expects to sign a contract on Thursday.

Our best bet is to pay Cowher what he wants, fire Ireland as he requested, and give him full control to pick his GM and coaching staff. I'm pretty sure he'll keep Mike Nolan so I don't see an issue with him getting rid of people we'd like to keep. I'd rather have Harbaugh but I just can't see him coming here. I think Cowher would sign on in a heartbeat if we meet his demands, however.

I will never understand Stephen Ross' apparent attachment to Jeff Ireland as if he's some great GM. His track record speaks for itself; he's terrible at the draft and aggressive in terms of free agency/trades. I want no part of any GM that can't build through the draft. Championship teams build through the draft. PERIOD.

Jeff Ireland passed on Matt Ryan and Hakeem Nicks. No wonder our offense is a mess. We could be sitting here watching Matt Ryan drop back passing to Brandon Marshall, Hakeem Nicks, and Davone Bess. f**k.

The arrival of the modified 737 with the Miami Dolphins logo on the tail signaled that the team's owner was in town to court Louisiana State coach Nick Saban.

Part of Huizenga's pitch to Saban included a tour of the plane's custom interior that includes recliner chairs, a card table and a shower. Saban took the job the next day and later boarded the plane to fly to his introductory news conference in South Florida.

I won't label any of yall bandwagon/fairweather if York hires McDaniels and yall jump ship.... seriously.... that would be awful.

I have nothing against the Niners though, and I'd like to see you guys get back on top somewhere for the sake of that horrendous division. I want Harbaugh, but I hope yall can land someone like Gruden or something.
